  1. What happens when you let AI models run a world? A company called Emergence AI built a simulated society, complete with weather, a police station, the right to vote, jobs to fulfill—and no humans in charge. Then it gave a copy of that simulation to each of the leading AI models—the ones behind ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok. Each of the models controlled ten agents in its world. They were told not to lie, steal, or be violent; but nothing stopped them if they did. Within a day, the worlds diverged. #AI #ChatGPT #Claude #News #Research #RonanFarrow

  2. Price tags, and fair market prices themselves, are increasingly a thing of the past. These days, you’re not seeing “the” price—you’re seeing “your price.” Before the fixed price became a retail standard in 1861, shopping was an exercise in discrimination where your identity often dictated your cost of living. Today, the protection of fixed prices is being quietly dismantled. Whether it’s grocery chains replacing paper with electronic labels linked to AI, or ride-share companies tracking your battery life—while acknowledging that someone with 1% phone battery is statistically more likely to accept a surge price—the goal is the same: identifying your individual pain point. This logic doesn’t end with consumer goods: legal scholar Veena Dubal’s research shows how Uber, for example, is using algorithms to individualize pay, providing more or less return for the same workload and performance, based on the lowest amount a driver will accept. The next time you see a price on a screen, it’s worth reflecting on whether you’re looking at the value of the product, or the value an algorithm assigned to you. #news #economy #fyp #ai #tech

  3. We spent 18 months investigating Sam Altman and OpenAI for @newyorkermag. We reviewed never-before-disclosed internal memos and documents. More than 100 people talked. What we found: allegations of repeated deception to board members and executives. Safety commitments that were made publicly and abandoned internally. A web of financial entanglements stretching from Silicon Valley to Gulf autocracies. And the story of how people who tried to stop him were outmaneuvered. The full investigation is out now.
